It will take me a bit of time to parse these responses and test them out.
One thing I'm reading based on the below suggestion is MIN(LLINE) as if
there is a line number.  That would be too easy!  The detail file has no
unique key to identify a single record.  Maybe that should be my first
fix...  If I do that, I could select LINE=1 and make this easy.

Something like this?
WITH ECLONE AS (
 SELECT LORD, MIN(LLINE) AS LLINE
 FROM GDIDIVF/ECL
 GROUP BY LORD
 ORDER BY LORD)
SELECT HORD, HCUST, LLINE
FROM GDIDIVF/ECH
 LEFT OUTER JOIN ECLONE ON HORD=LORD
WHERE HORD<650
ORDER BY HORD, LLINE
....+....1....+....2.
Ord No    Cust  LLINE
          No
   585   11366     1
   621    1115     1
   623    1115     1
   641    1115     1
   648   11366     1

SQL question on join and limit rows retrieved
Sent by:
midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx
I have an RPGLE program that works and lists header/detail (one to many)
for selection.  This means a standard SETLL/READ or READE on the header
and CHAIN to detail once to get the first record.  The remaining detail
records are only retrieved when one entry is selected.  (The first detail
record is intended as an overview / brief glimpse.)
I want to duplicate this with SQL to allow for easy enhancements and web
enablement.
I already have my SELECT A,B,C,D FROM HEADER WHERE xxxxxx working fine.
I'm trying to figure out how to JOIN to detail and only get the first row.
 DISTINCT didn't seem to help me at all.  FETCH FIRST 1 ROW ONLY limits
the entire query to 1 row rather than 1 row from detail.
Is this possible or do I have to essentially duplicate the CHAIN meaning a
SELECT A,X,Y,Z FROM DETAIL WHERE A='value from header' for each row
retrieved on the HEADER select?
My expectation is if I can get the correct query in one, it will perform
better than multiple selects over the detail.
I want to keep the number of records retrieved low by limiting the detail
to 1 row at this point.  (Although I don't even know for sure if I'll get
the same row on my detail select as I get from the chain...)
